About the Role

Lead the technical direction and delivery of fault detection and fallback systems for driverless operation, working alongside machine learning experts to build robust systems. This role requires a deep systems understanding of robotics for real-world deployment.

Responsibilities

  • Set the technical strategy and roadmap for fault detection and fallback from a robotics systems perspective, including behavioral scope, operating envelope, system interfaces, and measurable acceptance criteria.
  • Design and train fault detection mechanisms using evidence-based methods to enable robust driverless operation.
  • Collaborate across functions and expertise areas with machine learning, inference optimisation, and software engineers.
  • Lead integration into the shared driving stack, align technical decisions across teams, and raise the bar through architecture reviews, mentoring, and clear communication of risks, trade-offs, and evidence.
  • Use judgement and expertise to improve the overall robustness of the robot system beyond just fault detection and fallback.

Requirements

  • Proficiency in developing, implementing, and troubleshooting robotics solutions, backed by practical, real-world experience.
  • A track record of staff-level technical leadership: setting direction for ambiguous programmes, aligning multiple teams, and carrying work from research through production deployment.
  • Exceptional technical judgement and communication: able to make safety-relevant trade-offs explicit, define the evidence needed for decisions, and lead without relying on formal authority.
  • Experience with Python and C++ for robotics.
